Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Cultivar, Phenology, Domestication and Ecology. Jens Berger has included themes like Ecophysiology and Botany in his Agronomy study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cropping, Sustainable agriculture and Crop.

He works mostly in the field of Phenology, limiting it down to topics relating to Horticulture and, in certain cases, Osmotic pressure. His work carried out in the field of Ecology brings together such families of science as Gene pool and Genetic diversity. His research investigates the connection with Germplasm and areas like Mediterranean climate which intersect with concerns in Biomass and Tropics.

His most cited work include:

  • Cold stress effects on reproductive development in grain crops: An overview (276 citations)
  • Viewpoint: Evolution of cultivated chickpea: four bottlenecks limit diversity and constrain adaptation. (197 citations)
  • Legume Crops Phylogeny and Genetic Diversity for Science and Breeding (136 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Agronomy, Phenology, Cultivar, Germplasm and Crop. His Agronomy research includes elements of Adaptation, Domestication and Horticulture. His Phenology study introduces a deeper knowledge of Ecology.

Jens Berger interconnects Plant disease resistance, Legume, Genetic variation and Ammi in the investigation of issues within Cultivar. His work deals with themes such as Range, Habitat, Natural selection, Germination and Ecological selection, which intersect with Germplasm. His Crop study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Yield, Anthesis, Cultigen and Plant breeding.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (83.33%)
  • Phenology (52.78%)
  • Cultivar (38.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Agronomy (83.33%)
  • Phenology (52.78%)
  • Crop (29.63%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Jens Berger spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Phenology, Crop, Domestication and Adaptation. Jens Berger merges Agronomy with Growth rate in his research. His Phenology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Canola, Biomass, Water use, Ecotype and Yield.

His studies in Crop integrate themes in fields like Dry weight, Climate change, Explained variation and Genetic diversity. His Domestication research integrates issues from Plant disease resistance, Lupinus luteus, Water-use efficiency, Genetic linkage and Genotype. His Adaptation research also works with subjects such as

  • Biotechnology together with Lupinus angustifolius,
  • Nonlinear regression which connect with Cultivar.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • INDEL variation in the regulatory region of the major flowering time gene LanFTc1 is associated with vernalization response and flowering time in narrow‐leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L.) (28 citations)
  • Potential and limits of exploitation of crop wild relatives for pea, lentil, and chickpea improvement (14 citations)
  • The first genetic map for yellow lupin enables genetic dissection of adaptation traits in an orphan grain legume crop (8 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Ecology
  • Agronomy

Jens Berger mainly investigates Agronomy, Crop, Genetics, Reproduction and Lysimeter. The study incorporates disciplines such as Climate change, Genetic diversity and Introgression in addition to Agronomy. His Crop research includes themes of Photosynthesis, Dry weight and Explained variation.

Genotype, Adaptation, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic linkage and Domestication are the primary areas of interest in his Genetics study. His Reproduction study typically links adjacent topics like Salinity.
